The Origins of Halloween

As a matter of fact not much is definitely know about the origins of Halloween, some say it originated from a pagan festival, others say it’s a Christian tradition. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle and in the past centuries the traditions merged.

Some say that Halloween is actually a Celtic pagan festival for celebrating the end of harvest season. This festival is also known as Samhain, meaning “Summer’s End”.

In the early days people also used to believe that the spirit world and our world were more connected during Halloween. They say the veil was thinner during this time, so spirits could more easily visit Earth. Some people would offer food and drinks to appease the spirits. Others would light bonfires to fight off evil spirts.

Then there is also the Christian tradition where Christians would honor saints and pray for the souls that would not have made it to Heaven yet.

So, why the costumes you ask?

The origins from trick-or-treat date back as far as the 16^th century. Around that time people in Scotland, Ireland and Wales would dress up at Halloween and go from door to door in costume. They would ask for food in exchange for reading a poem or singing a song.

Your funny costumes will be the subject of talk even after Halloween is long gone. You and your partner are always up for a night out on town with friends.

Perhaps your ideal vacation would be attending Comic-con. The advantage is that you can then re-use your costumes again.

Soft and Cuddly Costumes

Do you and your partner have soft and cuddly costumes?

Do you just like the comfort?

Instead of going clubbing you and your partner are wearing comfortable clothing and hanging on the couch, watching some series.

Political Costumes

Did you two meet in debate class?

The two of you might even have a different political opinion. But that makes these costumes an even better fit for you two, as you can show your passion about your political standpoint. This passion makes the two of you love each other even more.

Historical Costumes

Historical costumes are not just for the old fashioned.

Do you and your partner both love watching historical documentaries on Netflix? Then you two are probably going in historical costumes for this year’s Halloween.

Sexy Costumes

Scary Costumes
